Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I always wanted to be a young mom. I had Gavin just after my 25th Birthday and Bodhi when I was 27. I also began the second stage of my career while having young kids and that balance was the most helpful and grounding experience of my life. Living with and by their routines, which became the routines of the household, held me accountable to early bedtimes, clean eating and a positive proactive mindset. I know am the founder of a tech company and my 8- and 11-year-olds have been my biggest allies and supporters. I’m grateful for our teamwork as a unit.
